But the highest price should be achieved by a more than original piece: Zinédine Zidane’s left foot, real size, made in Baccarat crystal, all signed “Glasgow, May 15th 2002”. This is the day of the final of the Champions League Leverkusen-Real Madrid (1-2) where Zidane had just scored a splendid goal with his left foot. Associated with a pair of crampons worn by the former star of Real, the whole is estimated between 50,000 and 60,000 euros.
